Who's Worse: The Nazis or the US Government?

The word "nazi" and all of its requisite icons have been so sensationalized
that naming
your child "Adolf Hitler" results in having your baby taken away by the
government... and drawing a swastika is still illegal in many countries, including
Germany, Hungary, Poland and Brazil.

Yet, in so many ways, the US Government has surpassed the nazis in evil...
the only difference is that they are much, much smarter at how they do it.

Keep in mind that the nazi period essentially encapsulated two things. One,
a populace of people clamoring for government to take care of them and two,
the governing elite who want, above all else, power and control over the people.

With that in mind, let's look at how similar both situations are today. And,
we'll come back to why that is important at the end.

The National Socialsts

Thanks to decades of government schooling and controlled media, most people
today aren't even aware of even the most basic history of the nazi party in
Germany. Likely not one in a hundred, as example, are aware that the word
nazi is simply short for "National Socialism".

In Germany, Hitler was simply your typical sociopath and he saw that he could
offer a "solution" to the problems caused by the government in the past (Weimar
hyperinflation and a destroyed economy). In the US, Nobel Peace Prize winner,
Barack O'Bomba, another sociopath, also sees that he can offer a "solution" to
the problems caused by the US Government (inflating dollar, destroyed economy).

Their "solutions" are almost all the same. "Free" healthcare for everyone.
Military might. And an enemy created by a false flag event. In Germany it
was the Reichstag Fire. The day after the fire Hitler asked for and received
from President Hindenburg the Reichstag
Fire Decree, signed into law by Hindenburg using Article 48 of the Weimar
Constitution. The Reichstag Fire Decree suspended most civil liberties in
Germany. In the US it was 9/11. Less than six weeks after 9/11, the Patriot
Act was signed into law, suspending most civil liberties in the US.

In fact, most of the things the nazis did are the same things the US Government
has or is doing... and in many cases is way ahead of the nazis. Under Hitler,
schools came under federal government control. In the US schools have been
under federal government control since 1821. In Nazi Germany, Hitler prevented
his dissenters from using radio to challenge the Nazi regimes ideology and
agendas. In the US the Fairness Doctrine is regularly used by the government
to threaten media that oppose current government policies. And the US Government
is currently working on ways to censor and restrict the internet, through
the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA).

The first concentration camp in Germany was opened in Dachau in 1933. The
US currently operates at least one concentration camp in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba
and has many more secret prisons where, under law signed by Barack Obama on
New Year's Eve, the government is able to kidnap and take any US citizen and
keep them "detained" indefinitely.

And this is not to mention the millions of people held in cages in the US
who did nothing to no one. This is where we can see how the US is much more
adept than the nazis at public relations. Instead of gassing people to death,
the US Government incarcerates millions, who never hurt or did anything to
anyone, and subject them to years, decades or life of beatings and sodomization.

Because, either people in the US are 5-15 times more criminal than every other
country on Earth, or the US Government has just figured out a new way to intern
people in new style concentration camps.

Some may retort that nazism was a racist based ideology. But, not only did
the nazis exterminate jews, but also all manner of other individuals including
gypsies and disabled people. However, that said, the US Government could also
be said to be racial targeting. In the US, only 1 out of every 106 caucasians
is incarcerated. Whereas 1 out of every 15 black males is incarcerated. Again,
some may retort that "blacks are just more criminal than whites". However,
this is not proven by evidence. In most countries, the black population is
on par with others who are incarcerated. But, here again, the US Government
has been destroying the black population through things like welfare. Welfare
can destroy entire swathes of society. And that is much the case for blacks
in the US. So, yet again, the US Government has managed to conduct effective
genocide on an entire race, but they are so good at propaganda that they make
it sound like they are trying to help them.

Some may also state that the US Government hasn't directly killed millions
like the nazis did. That, also, is not true. The US Government kills millions
of people every decade. They killed almost one million Iraqis in their occupation
of that country in the last decade. They killed millions in Cambodia and Laos
- two countries that had never done anything to the US. And millions more
in unprovoked
military operations dating back over a century in every corner of the
world from Panama to Libya and massive terrorist attacks on civilian populations
like Hiroshima and Nagasaki.

The New and Improved Nazism

Getting back to our initial point. Most people who gravitate to government
do so because they have a lust for power. They desire to control the lives
of others... as many as possible. Millions... billions... everyone.

In this sense, the US Government has far outpaced the nazis. The US Government
has direct, all encompassing control over Americans more than any other country
in the world, save a few (North Korea, Cuba and a few others). Plus, the US
Government has the resources to track and control US citizens worldwide...
that is something that the nazis or Soviets never could do. And they've learned
how to use propaganda and government indoctrination camps so well that most
Americans actually want their Government to have this control over them. The
most admired man in the US is Barack Obama and the most reveered woman in
the US is Hilary Clinton.

And when they aren't imprisoning or controlling Americans they are stealing
their money and using it to kill millions of others worldwide.

So, which one is worse? The nazis or the US Government?

There Are Differences

Sure, there are differences between the nazis and the US Government. There
are lots of differences. One of the differences is that, thanks to the internet,
the US Government cannot be so overt in its oppression. They can't just gas
or incinerate huge amounts of US citizens. They have to settle for enslaving
them to debt, taking most of their earned income and, in many cases, putting
them in cages and torturing them. They are forced to save their blood-lust
for foreigners at this point.

This means that unlike jews in Germany, US citizens have a chance to escape
the tyranny. Because the US Government can't just send off large swathes of
society to camps, yet, you still have an opportunity to get out of the US
and to some far away place where you will almost assuredly have a freer and
less oppressed life.

Jews in Germany who waited too long to leave had to break their physical chains
to escape from the nazis. In this respect, unincarcerated US citizens also
have an advantage. To escape they only have to break the chains that have
been built up in their minds. A feat that for many proves just as difficult.

Anarcho-Capitalist. Libertarian. Freedom fighter against mankind's two biggest
enemies, the State and the Central Banks. Jeff Berwick is the founder of The
Dollar Vigilante, CEO of TDV Media & Services and
host of the popular video podcast, Anarchast.
Jeff is a prominent speaker at many of the world's freedom, investment and
gold conferences as well as regularly in the media including CNBC, CNN and
Fox Business.

Jeff's background in the financial markets dates back to his founding of Canada's
largest financial website, Stockhouse.com, in 1994. In the late '90s the company
expanded worldwide into 8 different countries and had 250 employees and a
market capitalization of $240 million USD at the peak of the "tech bubble".
To this day more than a million investors use Stockhouse.com for investment
information every month.

Jeff was the CEO from 1994 until 2002 when he sold the company and still continued
on as a director afterwards until 2007. Afterwards, Berwick went forth to
live on and travel the world by sailboat but after one year of sailing his
boat sank in a storm off the coast of El Salvador. After being saved clinging
to his surfboard with nothing but a pair of surfing shorts left of all his
material possessions he decided to "live nowhere" and travel the world as
spontaneously as possible with one overarching goal: See and understand the
world with his own eyes, not through the lens of the media.

He went on to visit nearly 100 countries over four years and did and saw things
that no education could ever teach. He met and spoke with a plethora of amazing
people, from self-made billionaires to some of the brightest minds in finance
- as well as entrepreneurs from a broad range of backgrounds and locations
from tech companies in southern China to resource developers in Mongolia,
Thailand, Russia and Chile. He also read everything he could find on how the
world really works... politically and financially. A pursuit he continues
to this day.

He expatriated, long ago from his country of birth, Canada, and considers
himself a citizen of the world. He has lived in numerous locales since including
Los Angeles, Hong Kong, Bangkok and currently lives in Acapulco, Mexico and
is building a home in Cafayate, Argentina. In essence, everything he writes
about here for TDV he has done or is doing.

As well, during his travels, both real and virtual (through the internet),
he met some amazing people who have a similar shared vision of what is currently
going on in the world and enticed them to come aboard TDV and provide their
own brand of analysis.
